Good point, but seems to be OK for the obs setup at least. I haven't used for a night of imaging (was cloudy) but have used it to take images and so on for my observatory, seems OK.

I think something which might make it capable here is I don't work with video in my obs, it's all ST7 individual shots. So I haven't noticed a problem.

In fact it seemed very responsive, no different to using my obs via Remote Desktop on my laptop, so I hadn't considered the problem you're proposing. Navigating TheSky & changing apps & viewing in photoshop seemed fine while CCDSoft was taking autoguide 1 sec exposures and so on. There is the expected pause when it downloads a full frame image over the LPT.

But, perhaps I will with the portable setup where it uses the QHY for autoguiding, time will tell
